Are you also planning to change the behavior of ODBCQueryInfo object? Our
problem is that this object expects that SQLQuery contains SQL statement,
and even tries to parse it. When we are trying to call stored procedure in some
server (for instance, MS SQL Server) - it throws the exception. Example of the
query string:
EXEC SelectMonthStat @AppID='app1', @iMonth=11, @iYear=1998
We think that this behavior is incorrect - MapX must run the ODBC query anyway,
and only if server rejects it - throw the exception.
Thanks,
Dmitry
